Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:


Metaphor:-

In the realm of Gatsby's tale, secrets abide,

Dreams intertwined, with secrets to hide.

A green light shimmers, symbolic and deep,

Metaphor of longing, that one cannot keep.


Personification:-


Personified, the valley of ashes looms,

A wasteland of sorrow, where hope consumes.

"A fantastic farm where ashes grow like wheat,"

Personified anguish, the pain complete.


Alliteration:-


Daisy's voice, a delicate refrain,

Alliteration whispers, a sweet champagne.

"Her voice is full of money," we're told,

Alliterative allure, worth more than gold.


Foreshadowing:-


Eckleburg's eyes, an omen divine,

Foretelling the fates, like a sacred sign.

"God sees everything," the words proclaim,

Foreshadowing the truth, in the silent frame.


Symbolism:-


Gatsby's parties, symbols ablaze,

Extravagant displays, a longing's craze.

"The lights grow brighter," a symbolic sway,

Beneath the façade, emptiness holds its say.


In Fitzgerald's tapestry, a story unfurled, A mix of devices, a literary world.

With metaphors, personifications, they intertwine,

Great Gatsby's realm, in poetic design.


Hope it helps!! :))
